USC kicker Mario Danelo was found dead yesterday in San Pedro, California.
Danelo's body was discovered at 4:30 p.m. at Point Fermin Park. Rigor mortis had already begun to set in when authorities discovered him. Danelo had already been missing for a day.
He appeared to have suffered traumatic injuries and was wearing street clothes, police said. LAPD is investigating the situation. It is not known or believed to be suicide.
Police say that it is entirely possible that he fell.
As a Trojan, he had only missed two field goals, going 26-for-28, and was 127-of-134 on extra points. In 2005, he set NCAA single-season records with 83 extra points and 86 attempts.
